Five people have been killed in a machine-gun and grenade attack on a bar in Mali's capital, Bamako.
A masked gunman opened fire at La Terrasse bar, killing a French national.
A Belgian security guard working for the EU and three Malians also died at or near the site of the attack.
Witnesses say the attackers shouted "God is Great" in Arabic ("Allahu Akbar"). It is the first attack of its kind in the capital.
Police sources said two people connected to the incident had been detained.
The attack on La Terrasse came as a surprise as Bamako, in the south, has been free
